Pura's Cuentos
Author: Annette Bay Pimentel
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1647004985
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
A lyrical, vibrant tribute to the amazing life and legacy of Pura Belpré, a lauded storyteller, librarian, and pioneer of bilingual storytimes Pura’s abuela always has a cuento to share. She crows ¡Qui-qui-ri-quí! for Señor Gallo, booms Borom, Borom for Señor Zapo, and tells of a beautiful cockroach who loves a mouse. Pura clings to these stories like coquíes cling to green leaves. When Pura grows up and moves from Puerto Rico to Harlem, she gets a job at the library, where she is surrounded by stories—but they’re only in English. Where is Señor Gallo? Where is Pérez the mouse? Where is Puerto Rico on these shelves? She decides to tell children the tales of her homeland in English and in Spanish. Lyrically written, with lively illustrations, Pura’s Cuentos captures the exuberant spirit and passion of Pura Belpré: celebrated storyteller, author, folklorist, and the first Latina librarian in New York City. A pioneer of bilingual storytimes, she welcomed countless new families to the library, formed cultural bridges in her community, and broke the rules by telling stories that weren’t printed in books—at least, not yet.

Teaching Globally
Author: Kathy Short
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100384359X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
With the world visibly present in students' lives through technology, mass and social medias, economic interdependency, and global mobility, it is more important than ever to develop curriculum that is intercultural. In Teaching Globally: Reading the World Through Literature, a community of educators show us how to use global children's literature to help students explore their own cultural identities. Edited by Kathy Short, Deanna Day, and Jean Schroder, this book explains why global curriculum is important and how you can make space for it within district and state school mandates. Teaching Globally is built around a curriculum framework developed by Short and can help teachers integrate a global focus into existing literacy and social studies curricula, evaluate global resources, guide students as they investigate cross-cultural issues, and create classroom activities with an intercultural perspective. Filled with vignettes from K-8 urban, suburban, and rural schools that describe successes and struggles, Teaching Globally aims to integrate global literature into classrooms and challenge students to understand and accept those different from themselves. The book also includes extensive lists of recommendations, websites, professional books, and an appendix of global text sets as mentioned by the authors. '
